Very fine first edition of this work that narrates the adventures of Ferdinand, a veteran of the Great War, who finds himself in London in the midst of a revolution -

There he meets colorful characters, such as the Prince of Wales, the King of beggars, the leader of the Apaches, etc. He experiences hilarious scenes, such as a sword duel, a prison escape, a car chase, etc. -

The book is written in a unique style that blends slang, popular language, neologisms, onomatopoeia, ellipses, repetitions, digressions, etc. The book is a masterwork of humor, poetry and fantasy, brilliantly illustrating the chaos and madness of the world -
